In episode 26, your hosts Rob and Bob, pick up the discussion of Dispensationalism. Today we discuss the nature of a dispensation and the first three dispensations of Dispensational Theology and some of the continuing differences with Covenant Theology. What is a dispensation? What makes a dispensation? What is the nature of a dispensation? Does it differ from a covenant? Is it historical? What is the Dispensation of Innocence? What is the Dispensation of Conscience? What is the Dispensation of Human Government? We’ll discuss these and other related questions in this episode of Theology Simply Profound. Theology Simply Profound is a podcast of Westminster Presbyterian Church, an Orthodox Presbyterian Church, serving the western suburbs of Chicago, where God powerfully speaks through his means of grace. Theology Simply Profound is where God is recognized as he ought to be, simply profound. Music credit: pamelayork.com.

The hosts are amicable to the brethren and informative concerning reformed theology. I learn something new every episode!

A Real Treasure

I found this Podcast through Reformed Forum/Christ the Center. I have listened pretty regularly for a while now. I thought the Revelation Series was enjoyable and well done. I used it as a supplement to my study of the book. The Dispensational Series was a pure joy to listen. As a Reformed Presbyterian I see most things through the same lense as these gentleman but I do think they do a nice job of presenting both sides of a certain topic. I look forward to future stuff from TSP. Keep up the good work gentleman.

Buckle up.

I came for an explanation of dispensationalism and got a thorough series on the nitty gritty details of this theology and its history. I consider myself a bit of an expert now... I also especially enjoyed the podcasts on the lives of Abraham and Noah. Thanks Rob + Bob!

Simply Profound Indeed!

I love theology and quite honestly, every Believer should. It is, after all, the study of God. But if you love Covenantal Theology, as opposed to Dispensational Theology, then you'll absolutely be helped and stretched by this podcast. Even if you hold to Dispensationalism, download these episodes and learn what the "other side" believes. And if you don't know what either of these two theologies are...well then you too will be in for a treat!

Thrilled to have stumbled upon!

I was searching for Wayne Grudem's systematic theology teaching and clicked on this and I'm thankful I did. Coming from 40 years of dispensational teaching, the episodes that compared it with covenant theology really opened my eyes. Love the conversational style. Highly recommend!

If you are interested in Reformed theology...

A great podcast, especially if you are into The White Horse Inn and Reformed Forum podcasts. Very conversational and accessable yet rich. The series on Dispensationalism is especially helpful. The hosts carefully unpack Dispensationalism and show how it differs from Reformed covanental understanding of the Bible. The episodes are a bit on the longer side, so make sure you have the time to listen carefully; it's worth it.

very good

The series on Dispensationalism is very educational. The hosts did not attack or put it down, but tried to explain how each side would present itself to provide us a basis for dialog.

Great discussions

I really like this podcast especially their series on dispensationalism. Its very charitable and educational, even for a reforming Christian coming out of that system.
